Hi I am looking for a custom leaf spring for my 99 superduty F-250 diesel in a 10-12'' lift version i am looking to fit michelins 46'' tires any help would be great thanks.

I am looking to put 2.5 rocks under it will the 46'' michelins be enough for the 6.72 gearing thanks

Keep looking :D

big truck repair shop...a "spring" shop should be able to makem for ya...gonna ride rough though...

Thanks for the reply what would you recomend.

Or would you recomend an 8'' lift and 35'' tires on the stock axles and gearing thanks

This might just get interesting. Ask Pro how he did his.

for springs you can try deaver or alcan. also look into a spring hanger that lifts it more. then you can use a say a 3 or 4 inch hanger and an 6 inch spring, and still get the needed 10 inch lift and a better ride too. basically the bigger the lift in your spring the worse the ride(usually). my friend has a 6inch lift on his superduty from rubicon express. rides pretty good. check them out for parts also.

Thanks for the info who is pro and where can i find him

Pro = Proeliator

PM him with a link into this thread, and I'm sure he will be GLAD to offer his insight into your situation

You guys are SUCH asshats :flipoff2:

Just for that, I'll be helpfull (sorta) :p

Big Orange, contact National Spring co., they can hook you up with what you need.

Also, I'd suggest contacting Pavement Sucks for all further build questions.

God bless all the fucking noobs, for shits sake.

You going soft on us too man?

Ok let me brake it down for you. I am wanting to put a big lift on my superduty and not sure what the stock axles can handle the unit bearings suck the Dynatrac kit cost 3 grand then I would have to regear the stock axles so I could go that route with an 8'' lift and 3.5'' spring hangers with 38'' tires or I could get the 2.5 rocks already geared at 6.72 but I would probably need 40-46'' inch tires but I think I would need more lift. thanks

We know what you intended to do: build a candidate for big ghey truckland. Rest assured, the stock axles can handle any pavement pounding you intend to do. It doesn't really matter how big of a lift or tires you run, you'll still impress your douche bag high school buddies, and the junior high girls will love it.

As you were already told, take it to Pavement Sucks before you piss off the locals

If you are building a big ghey mall crawler then you should fuck off and die.
If you are building a truck that will be wheeled then take a look at 03f350's build, rocks, 46s, not to much lift.
The rocks look good on paper but do have some drawbacks, only 6.72s for gears, you will spend $$$ for wheel brakes, pinion brakes aren't recomended for street use, you will need custom wheels.

For big springs look to national, alcan, maybe deaver?

Brewchief:D

You going soft on us too man?


Naaaa, just flipping those asshats telling him to pm me the bird. Its a dirty, rotten trick :laughing:

This explains all the stupid pm's I've been getting for the last several months.....

good fucking luck trying to drive that around in Ma...only way you have a prayer is getting it registered in another state.

This explains all the stupid pm's I've been getting for the last several months.....

As uneventful as things have been around here lately, can you really blame us for trying to stir the pot some? :flipoff2:

Cmon, Pro, you know you're just itching for the chance to tell folks to go fuck a blender, and anyone that blatantly says, "I want a big lift for my super duty," is desperately in need of an attitude adjustment as only you can offer......

Wow you guys are no help this is for off road and drive to the trails not a mall crusier so some usefull help would be apricated.

Wow you guys are no help this is for off road and drive to the trails not a mall crusier so some usefull help would be apricated.

Ok then let me rephrase, what LEGAL trails in Ma are you going to be driving that to, that it'll fit down?

Wow you guys are no help this is for off road and drive to the trails not a mall crusier so some usefull help would be apricated.

well, let me help you out, this is a rock crawling and desert racing site, not mud boggs because holding down the gas pedal takes zero effort/skill/ability/brain cells. No one here is being a dick, we told you to check out pavement sucks, chuckstrucks.net, and even gave you the name of a few leaf spring companies that can help you.

If you are planning on sinking this much money into your truck, you need to do a lot more reading and a lot less asking people to spoon feed you the answer.

Now, if you want to be an e-tough guy and get butthurt about us telling you to go elsewhere to get your information because there's rednecks out there that specialize in big ghey trucks, then follow our original advice, and go elsewhere..

Yeah, and if a frog had wings it wouldn't bump it's ass.

yes this is the best web site on the board for 4x4's so you wont get rid of me that easy all of my questions are legit so some real answers would be apriciated.

All i am looking for is where to order thoes springs from so i can start my build thanks.

Your "legit" questions have already been answered. Do like the rest of us when we want some information. QUIT BEING A LAZY FUCK & SEARCH! There are numerous threads throughout Pirate arguing D60/Sterling 10.5 vs Rockwells, assuming you're lucky enough to have a D60 under a 99 F250SD. We're not going to tell you how to build your fucking rig, which is what you've asked us to do. We're not going to tell you if a D60/10.5 is a better plan than rocks. That's a personal decision, ranking right up there with dressing right or dressing left. Do your research and make an informed decision that meets your wheeling requirements.

If that answer isn't "real" enough for you to appreciate, try this on for size: While stirring your weekly meth cook, be sure and drop a lit cigarette into the cook, and blow yourself through the front door and into the neighbor's yard, you AIDs infected, blood stained, jumbo sized douche nozzle

like FbOmRxD said, what trails are you planning to run in mass? and how do you plan on registering or inspecting it?

The internet.

Try this place www.google.com


Another I rarely use if google brings the suck is www.yahoo.com.

You go to the tops of their home pages and you can type in "deaver leaf spring"

then hit enter on your key board. a wealth of information will explode onto your screen

..
fucking idiot how many people have to tell you where to get your pogo stick springs :blackflipoff2:

"douche nozzle".......hehe.http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Call National and get a price. Then PM me about the 18"ers I have currently sitting in my shop.

Thank you the truth is that i just paid for the rocks and am going to put them under my jeep or ford. I was making small talk for people who like to talk about this stuff and people who are helpfull not people who are unhelpfull.

Hey Big Orange,

Check out this from a few years ago...Peterson's 4Wheel Built this truck for their Ultimate Adventure a few years ago. Pretty much the same as what you are looking to get done.

Who says the big boys cant play too...anyone can wheel a honda size buggy on 44's:flipoff:

I don't think your stock axles will handle much hardcore wheeling over a 38inch tire. The best thing you can do is keep the lift minimal and cutout the wheel wells to make those big tires fit and meet your states vehicle laws.

You need to do some more research on MA laws in regards to bumper and headlight maximum hieght requirements before you do all this work. Another thing is some places (Vancouver, BC) you have to retain your ABS system if the vehicle came with it from the factory.

You should really STFU and learn to read. No one said big rigs cant play, actually there are 2 links to 2 rather large builds listed on the first page.

For a simple answer, I would keep the stock axles, regear to 4.56:1, ordere a lift kit from superlift, (they make an 8" & 10" lift kit) put on a set of 38" tires, (I would go with toyo open country, goodyear MTR, or Swamper SSR tires) It would be a capable daily driven off road rig, and will still work well for towing your Jeep when it is finished,

Thats my non asshat answer.

I think this deserves the dumbest coment of the year award, Congradulations.

I dont know about THE dumbest, but it's in the top 5.

That was just a general comment because a lot of people were assumming he's building a big ghey truck.

I looked at 03f350's buildup and it's meh.

The only links in here are to google, yahoo and some search tips.



How is your herpasifalaids doing these days?

Correct or leave it stock, spend all that money, time, and bloody knuckles on the (gasp) Jeep. Put your rocks under it, link it, and when it breaks, the stock tow rig will get ya home......

Your build sounds like it will suck balls, 8" springs and 3.5" drop brackets for 38's WTF:shaking: I wheel my 03 with a 6.5" pro comp kit and it runs 37" no problem and wide 38's with minor trimming.:flipoff2: On top of that I wouldn't want any more lift than that, the 6" springs don't flex that well, your 12" springs will hardly move, even pro comp dosen't make an 8" spring, they use a 6" spring and a 2 inch hanger drop, because the eight inch springs would flex for shit. If you have a 350 you have a dana 60 and a sterling 10.25, which will hold up to a pretty decent tire, you could run 39.5" rocks and 4.88's with detroits, a 6" lift, and cut fenders with bushwacker flares and be fine (and still drive it, though I doubt 39.5's are legal in your state for highway use). Then again, it dosen't get you the fatest chick at the mall, but atleast it won't tip over and crush your buddies truck on the trail.:mr-t:


By the way, you only would need a 4" kit for 35's, that is probably more your style, plus there are plenty of manufacturers who make 35" tires for 22" rims, right up your ally, saves money for the underbodies:D

I have a 10" National 11 leaf pack on my truck (F250HD) and it flexes very well. It's also oddly enough way softer than the stock 3 spring pack.

what size tire are you running? Stock axles? Backspacing on wheels? I felt that the superduties get a bit tipsy when they get that tall, especially running tires of the 42" and higher flavor.

stock 50 and 10.5, 5.13s, locked front and rear. 22" lift on Firestone Field and Turf tires. Wasn't that tipsy:laughing:
